It has an article in it on the Tomlinscote Kings merger by Mike Wright.
He discusses the involvement of Oasis Academy provider, the CAM meeting at Lakeside and Barbara Lapthorns damning indictment of the "consultation" document.
He goes on to discuss the Collingwood College Headmasters criticisms of SurreyCC's population statistics and the governors statement that Collingwood will not consider a merger with Kings themselves.
Interesting reading.
Update: Now on the web
Kings does not have its own governing body. Its a catch 22 situation because the very same governing body at Tomlinscote that is refusing to engage with parents at the moment are hardly going to approach the Academy provider.
ReplyDeleteBecause we were able to show public support for Oasis assessing the feasibility of Kings becoming an academy, they were able to approach the Department of Education.
ReplyDeleteThe current situation is that the DofE have appointed a 'broker' who will work with Oasis and SCC.
